The Sisters of St. Joseph will officially open the historic Father Miguel O'Reilly House June 25 at 10 a.m. and Bishop Victor Galeone of the Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine was on hand last weekend to bless the museum, located at 32 Aviles St.

The restoration of the property has been a longtime project for the Sisters of St. Joseph. Sister Thomas Joseph McGoldrick, SSJ, is the current archivist for the project, following Sister Mary Albert Lussier, SSJ, the order's first archivist. The garden at the house is dedicated to Sister Mary Albert.
